Candle or Mirror.

Goldfinch60



In this enlightened life light is there,

It is always there

But so many do not see it,

Or do not want to see it.

Everyone can spread the light,

Even those who are not the candle,

The candle that holds the light.

They can always be the mirror,

The mirror that reflects it.

So go on then,

Go and do it,

Spread the light

So all can see,

Can see there tomorrows.

    A fine write Gold. Let's be careful of candles in churches, along with wooden pews. Arrggh! Candlelight Services must give the Fire Brigade nightmares.

    • Goldfinch60

      We use battery lit candles now, especially at the Christingle Service when the kids have candles!!

      • orchidee

        Sounds good. Some are dangerous! Candles with a bit of cardboard at the base. Easy to burn your hand, while faffing about finding the page of hymn books, etc. as well.

        Well I'll go light my wick - fine write Andy.

        • Goldfinch60

          OK Michael, but be careful. Thank you.

          When the light enters you, i believe it shines from you upon others. Many are seeing the light with damaged vision from their life. Some are mislead and see a man made light - a contrivance.

          The light is pure and wholesome.

            So very true d a. So very true.

            A caring request and told with such delicacy dear Andy - -- spreading light with two ways to choose is the best thing we can do in this life - - loved the music too.

            • Goldfinch60

              Thank you Fay, we must all spread the light no matter how we do it.

              ANGELA here ! Morning UNCLE ANDY (10:30pm here !) love the Music as always - very uplifting. This GAVOTTE on Classical Guitar is BRIANS signiture tune so it also made me CRY ! was raised CATHOLIC so Candles will always will be a integral part of my Worship. At BRIANS Church (where he is a Deacon) last time they has a CHRISTINGLE (battery candles) I brought 12 Large Nativity Candles to illuminate the Church a FIRST for that EVANGELICAL CHURCH.
              Brian told the Congregation that Angela had provided the Candles ! My parents attended for the fist time MAMA wearing her Mantilla. One lady said to Me afterwards *It was a bit Papish but I loved it !* Please light a Candle (be a Candle) wherever you ARE !*

              Blessings & Peace for YOU & JOYCE
              Love in the Spirit ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
